Can my website be infected or hacked without any signs?

Majority of online users are unable to tell the signs of an infected or hacked site. Webmasters attempt to keep close attention to the signs of an infected site but small to medium businesses may not have knowledgeable cyber security staff on hand to detect hidden malware running incognito. These security risks can result in Blacklisting, a red screen of death or even a breach causing a loss of confidential information - all of which can reduce organic traffic up to 95%.

How does cWatch scan my website without having to install on my computer?

No installation is required because cWatch Web is a fully managed cloud based S.a.a.S. (security-as-a-service). Meaning that all our security features and technology are running in the cloud. Simply allow your website to connect to cWatch Web by allowing File Transfer Protocol (FTP) access and utilizing our Content Delivery Network. This is a simple process that can be done in 3 minutes through our account creation process.

How does cWatch Web protect sites from attackers?

Comodo cWatch Web enabled websites leverage our secure Content Delivery Network (CDN) to increase performance and allow us to monitor traffic through a centrally managed Security Information and Event Management (SIEM). The SIEM combines current events with threat intelligence data from Comodo’s 85 Million global endpoints to identify risks before they occur. Alerts are immediately sent to the Comodo Security Operation Center (CSOC) where a 24 / 7 / 365 team of certified analysts can deploy updates to the Web Application Firewall (WAF) and eliminate the threat before it hits your website, all in real-time.

Which plan should I chose?

All websites regardless of their size and purpose are susceptible to attacks. Meaning bad actors utilize bots to attack sites and use multiple sites as launching pads for larger attacks. Your security posture should be a proactive one meaning it prevents damage versus reacting to repair. Our protection plans (PRO + PREMIUM) have better multi layered protection features such as web application firewalls (WAF) and analysts to handle all of the work on your behalf whereas our STARTER plan, focuses on lite protection, performance and a monthly malware repair.
